War, latest news. Iran: media, 'explosion in Oman port, drone attack likely'

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been unable to inspect Iran's nuclear facilities affected by last June's war. This is according to a confidential agency report distributed to member states and viewed by the Associated Press. The IAEA reported that it could not "provide any information on the current size, composition or location of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, nor determine whether Iran has suspended all enrichment-related activities." The agency warned that it was 'unable to fulfil its safeguards responsibilities' under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Safeguards Agreement, adding that it was 'imperative and urgent' that Tehran comply with its obligations under that treaty.

The port of Al-Fahal in Oman has halted crude oil loading operations following an explosion near the docks, probably caused by a drone attack. Ynet News reports this, citing Reuters.

The United States does not need any agreement to obtain Iranian enriched uranium, President Donald Trump said.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met today with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al Sabah. Rubio, reports a State Department memo, reiterated "the United States' commitment to Kuwait's security, to ensuring that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon, and to restoring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz".

The Secretary of State "also condemned Iran's outrageous and unacceptable attacks on Kuwait's international airport and other parts of the country, expressing condolences for the victims and those injured. We stand by the Kuwaiti people at this difficult time'.

Donald Trump would feel 'honoured' to meet with Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. The US president said he would do so should an agreement be reached to end the four-month-long US-Iran war. "If we were to reach an agreement, it is possible for me to meet him," he said. "That would be fine with me," the tycoon said while answering reporters' questions in the Oval Office. Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed Iran's Supreme Guide after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the first day of fighting. Trump said that although the joint US-Israeli attacks resulted in the death of his father and other members of his family, he expects the latter to prove to be a 'professional' when it comes to the meeting. "In certain circles, he actually enjoys a very good reputation," Trump noted. (

- US President Donald Trump declared today that the US will win in the conflict with Iran, 'one way or another, whether on paper or militarily'.

"We're going to win on paper or we're going to win militarily, one way or the other," Trump told the press, reiterating that "a big part of the agreement is about them not being able to have nuclear weapons and the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz."

If Iran kills American soldiers, it crosses the red line and would be a good reason to resume the war, said US President, Donald Trump. "It would be a good reason. I'm honest with you," he said, in the Oval Office of the White House to reporters asking him questions. "If they killed American soldiers, I would do it very quickly. That's a very interesting question,' he said after saying yesterday that a deal could be reached over the weekend, and after Tehran contradicted him by pointing out that there is 'no meaningful process' in place.
